Guide to Digital Radio
This section provides a brief guide to digital radio (DAB), explains how the features of your DRX-602ES provide access to it, and provides some
useful addresses for finding out more.
Your DRX-602ES enables you to receive and listen to Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) digital radio programmes. DAB uses digital transmission rather
than traditional analogue transmission, providing near CD-quality audio with virtually interference-free reception. DAB also enables broadcasters to
transmit additional data along with the audio including other audio channels, text and in the future, perhaps computer data and images.
DAB digital radio is broadcast as groups of data called multiplexes or ensembles . Each multiplex can contain a number of services (stations) and
each service contains a primary service and can also contain secondary services as illustrated in the following diagram. Each multiplex is
transmitted at a set frequency and is received by your DRX-602ES for decoding. Your DRX-602ES can receive multiplexes broadcast on all DAB
frequencies (Band III and L-Band). The number of multiplexes and radio stations you receive, will vary depending on your location.
With DAB, radio stations have labels (names) which are used to identify them. Instead of needing to know a particular frequency to listen to your
favourite broadcast you can simply select the station name. Secondary services and additional data such as text containing programme or multiplex
information are also easily accessed using your DRX-602ES.

Troubleshooting
This section gives some of the most likely solutions to problems you might have with your DRX-602ES.
I can’t get any sound
!Make sure your DRX-602ES and amplifier are switched on.
!Check that you have connected the DRX-602ES to your amplifier correctly, see Setting up, and that your amplifier has the correct source selected.
!Check that the volume on your amplifier is not too low or that you have selected MUTE on the remote control.
!Ensure that you have completed the autotune procedure to find digital radio services.
Remote control not functioning
!Check that you have inserted the batteries correctly.
!Check that you are not too far away from the main unit (not more than 7 metres recommended) and that the remote sensor is not obscured.
Display says ‘No Service Check Setup’
Check that your aerial is connected and positioned properly. Use the autotune facility to search for services.
I can’t access secondary services
If secondary services are available for the currently selected service the Secondary indicator LED will light up. Use the remote control to select
secondary services, see Using the remote control.
Display says ‘Memory Reset Presets Lost’
This may occur if the unit has been switched off for an extended period of time (longer than a month). Use autotune to refresh your stored services if
necessary. You can then re-enter your presets using the remote control.
Display has gone blank
This may occur if a broadcaster changes a service or removes a service while you are listening to it. Use autotune to restore available services to your
unit, see Using your DRX-602ES: Tuning.
I’ve lost my remote control
If you lose your remote control you can still use your DRX-602ES but you will not be able to access your preset stations, switch between primary or
secondary services or use DRC or mute facilities. Contact VideoLogic Support to obtain a replacement remote control, see Getting Help.
I can’t hear my FM/AM radio although it is connected
!Ensure that your DRX-602ES is switched off. This enables your FM/AM radio to pass through the analogue outputs to your amplifier.
!Ensure that you have connected your FM/AM radio to your DRX-602ES and your DRX-602ES to your amplifier correctly, see Setting up.
!Ensure that your FM/AM radio and amplifier are switched on and that the FM/AM radio is tuned to a station.
I can’t hear the station I have selected on the display
To hear the station you need to confirm your selection by pressing the large tuning button, see Using your DRX-602ES; Selecting a service.
I hear a 'burbling' sound on some stations
Although DAB is excellent at providing quality audio from very little signal, the quality can suffer if the signal strength is too low. If that happens, a
‘burbling’ sound can sometimes be heard. Check your aerial connection and position, see Setting up: Connecting to your aerial.
If the problem persists, a signal booster may be the solution - these are available from our on-line store at www.videologic.com
Autotune takes a long time or can’t find a service I know I should receive
Ensure you have selected the relevant tuning zone for your location, this ensures that the correct frequency band is scanned for services, see Using
your DRX-602ES: Changing your tuning zone.

Aerial advice
Your DRX-602ES is supplied with a T-shaped ribbon dipole aerial. This is an indoor aerial which is designed to give good reception in areas with good
to moderate DAB signal strength. In areas with poor DAB coverage or poor signal strength you may want to consider using a loft mounted or external
aerial. To find out about coverage in your area, see Guide to Digital Radio.
Ribbon Aerial4-element AerialDipole Aerial
The following options may help you improve reception in your area and are available from the on-line store on our website, see Accessories.
1.Ribbon Aerial Optimise the position of your ribbon aerial by mounting it as high as possible and extending the arms vertically. Use the Signal
Strength meter to fine tune the aerial placement, see Using your DRX-602ES: Viewing extra information.
2.TV/FM Aerial If you have an externally mounted TV or FM aerial it may provide a stronger signal than an indoor aerial but as they are not tuned
for the digital radio frequency range and are pointed at your local TV/FM transmitter, reception may be no better. The standard TV or FM RF
connector cannot be plugged into your DRX-602ES directly, you will need to use an RF to F-type adapter. You may also find that you need to use a
signal booster if you want to use the aerial for both TV or FM and DAB reception.
3.External or loft mounted DAB Aerial Two main types are used. These types of aerials may require professional installation:
Dipole - for use in marginal signal areas, this type is omnidirectional and should increase the strength of all DAB stations being received.
4-element aerial - for use in marginal or poor signal areas, this type is directional and has high gain. Like a TV or FM aerial this type needs to
point at the transmitter. Installation requires someone to move the aerial while you monitor signal strength. If you receive signals from multiple
transmitters you should point your aerial at the one which gives the best signal for the services to which you want to listen.
4.Signal booster This is a signal amplifier which connects into an aerial cable and boosts the strength of the received signal. If your ribbon aerial
works fairly well this may be the easiest and best option.
